Hairopoulos: Expect TCU to take the Iron Skillet away from SMU this season

3/7

Knile Davis, RB: After a spectacular sophomore season (when he rushed for 1,322 yards on 204 carries), Davis missed all of last year with a knee injury, and his return this season was supposed to spark the Arkansas offense to be even more explosive than in was in 2011. So far? No such luck. Davis has yet to crack the 4.0 yards-per-carry mark in any one of the Hogs’ four games, and he’s only racked up 208 yards and a pair of TDs on 64 carries. Whether it’s a residual effect from the injury or just a lack of holes, Davis hasn’t looked like his old explosive self in 2012. Still, he’ll get the lion’s share of the carries for the Hogs, so he’s a man A&M must account for.

Kate Hairopoulos, SEC and Texas A&M beat writer for SportsDayDFW.com and The Dallas Morning News, answered your college football questions about the Aggies, the SEC and the Big 12 in a live chat on Thursday. Here are some of the highlights.

Does SMU have a chance this weekend vs TCU?

Kate Hairopoulos: Nothing to this point would suggest so...seems like same old story on Hilltop. Offense isn't getting it done. Where's receiver Darius Johnson been this season? He had a huge game when the Ponies upset the Frogs last year. That was quite a scene - players parading the Iron Skillet everywhere. Think TCU takes it back to Fort Worth this year.

Is June Jones going to leave for another school?

Kate Hairopoulos: June has said he's recommitted to SMU after the Arizona State flap last December. I don't know where else he would go at this point...except back to Hawaii? Are you ready for him to go? I would like to see SMU take another step up before he's done.
